Tour Options
Itinerary
Tourists enjoy the crystal-clear spring surrounded by nature, take photos, relax, and explore the area. The attraction is reached with a scenic 15-minute walk through the natural park accompanied by the guide.
Ksamil is widely considered Albania’s most beautiful beach destination. Unlike rushed group tours, here you’ll have meaningful free time to actually enjoy the place—not just pass through it. Swim in crystal-clear turquoise water, relax on white-sand beaches, or explore the nearby islands by kayak or small boat. If you prefer, take a break at one of the seaside restaurants and enjoy fresh seafood with a direct view of the sea (optional, not included).
Saranda is a vibrant coastal city along the Ionian Sea. Here, you’ll have a short stop to stretch, take photos, and enjoy panoramic views of the waterfront promenade and surrounding hills. It’s a brief but essential introduction to the south.

Claudia was absolutely great! She handled everyone well and organized every stop with confidence and handled with a strong hand. Also educating all of us on the trip on sites, statues and Albanian history. I was nothing short of impressed, a wonderful experience thanks to Claudia.
A wonderful day. Many thanks to our guide Ledia. Recommended
On the morning of the tour, we were ready and waiting at the agreed time and location. Instead of a heads-up, we were met with a guide who was visibly frustrated and short with us for supposedly being late — even though no alternate meeting point had been communicated. The tone from there stayed tense, with repeated comments about being behind schedule and a warning that this couldn’t happen again. The guide’s overall manner felt curt and unwelcoming for most of the day — possibly just a difference in communication style, but it left the group feeling more managed than looked after. The tour was also fairly light on information; most stops were just drop-offs with a set time limit to return to the van, and that schedule wasn’t always kept as tightly as it was enforced on us. Overall, the destinations themselves were worthwhile, but the way the day was run — the pickup mix-up and the guide’s approach — left a bad impression.
Very well organized trip and lovely guide
The day trip was excellent. We were informed about everything and the communication was great. Lydia was such an amazing guide, much thanks to her for making our day better.
Wonderful trip, with a great live guide! She was amazing.
Claudia was amazing, so kind and polite. Very good experience, I would recommend 👍
Great experience, the guide Lydia was spectacular. A trip to remember!
Albania is absolutely stunning, and when you want to experience a lot of it, in a short time - like 1 day - this tour is a great choice. Ksamil is very nice just like the photos, blue eye you should visit once in your life, and saranda is perfect for a little relax and city vibe. The organization was vey nice and the communication was clear, i even got advices on what to bring and what to expect. The guide knew a lot and spoke with so much passion. The most important one, the coach was comfy and AC worked like magic, which is very much needed in this hot albanian weather. 100% will suggest this to mu friends!
An amazing trip! Ksamil was stunning but also the Blue Eye was amazing. 100% worth it. Dori the guide was so friendly and knowledgeable
